I like the concept! The UI felt just a little jumbled, but I liked the sprite style and the way information was presented in the game. The card mechanic was a neat touch. It felt almost like a modern day solitaire! A couple more balancing tweaks and you will have a solid game! Keep up the good work :) ","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Pedro Romero","author_uid":"1003660","time":"2017-08-08T12:47:59Z","epoch":1502196479,"modified":1502196479,"text":"A very interesting game. A solid concept.\n\nAppart of the \"more and different cards\" I think that this game needs improvements in two fields:\n1. A better UI that highlight better the important stats.\n2. List the concrete effect of the cards. The descriptions are funny and add to the mood of the game, but a technical description apart will add a lot.","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld39\/39609-daf4939cffa228f8e0ba23911baf4663.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=0B0yJNREdmZDdX1JTeXY1WXJ5czA","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"42309","g_author":"1039607","g_event":"LD39","g_eventkey":"74","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"239982","g_title":"Out of Power","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"2","g_site2_node_id":"39609","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"39609","n_urlkey":"239982","n_parent":"32802","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/39\/out-of-power-1","n_slug":"out-of-power-1","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"39607","n_created":"1501271885","n_modified":"1501537099","n_version":"120400","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":39609,"parent":32802,"superparent":9,"author":39607,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2017-07-31T21:38:19Z","created":"2017-07-28T19:58:05Z","modified":"2017-07-31T21:38:19Z","version":120400,"slug":"out-of-power-1","name":"Out of Power","body":"So this is my first ever Ludum Dare, and I've actually managed to make a basic but essentially complete game even if the balance is a little screwy (I know the balance is off, but I've run out of time to fix it basically).\n\nOne thing to note - windows defender doesn't seem to like running the game - you can allow it anyway, but I have literally no idea how to fix this :(\n\nSo, when the game starts up and you get past the splash screen, you'll see something like this:\n![Screen1.PNG](\/\/\/raw\/7ba\/9\/z\/6eb8.png)\nThose light bulb things are the cards you need to click on.
